For fatigue mitigation, off-duty time excludes work, duties, meetings, training, and other operator assignments. Hours of service include controller activities, shift change and overlap, on-call duties, drills, meetings, training, reviews, and other work for the operator. The guidance also addresses point-to-point verification, alarm management, controller roles, training, and compliance validation.
